Unto us

Unto us a Child is born.

Unto us. In a broken world. Where sorrow runs deep. And grief overwhelms. 

Where loss breaks our hearts.

And we forget to breathe.

Storm

Storm. Sometimes it comes out of nowhere. Fierce. Sudden. Unpredictable. 

The recent tornado in Tennessee roared through. In the middle of the night. Unexpected. Devastating.

Today COVID19 continues spreading across the globe at a rapid pace. Insidious. Unsettling. Unknown.

And traveling along under the radar, another kind of storm. Often unspoken. Filtering through conversations and across the airwaves. 

Fear.

Unmapped

The urban forum. A gathering of the nations. We explore cities together. Examining them from various angles and worldviews. 

One particular presentation leads us to unmapped neighborhoods. Unnamed places. In the depths of an urban slum. 

Pushing out from the edge of a global city.

Streets and paths. Crossroads. Unmarked. Yet densely populated. With living, breathing communities.
